Players from other teams you can't help but love and hate

Love: Mabior Chol - I enjoy his effortless style. Not enough players bring a bit of Hollywood to the game, but Mabs does.

Hate: Ollie Dempsey - annoying face and comes from a wealthy family.

What do you want him to do, rig a Delorean and go back and invest his parents’ money in bad stock?
 
Love: Toby Greene, the guy is fantastic to watch and has a bit of mongrel about him.
Hipwood, he looks like Bambi on Ice, his limbs are just too long.
Big Maxy Gawn who could not love Big Max. Even though he will give my lads an absolute towelling on Sunday he is still an absolute favourite.

Hate: Dangerfield, Tom Lynch and Bailey Smith. I know that is two from Geelong but they are both so punchable.

As someone who inherently dislikes Freo I was Lachie Schultz Fan Club when he was there, and now I've taken a shine to Pat Voss. He's a "mature age" (ha, debuted at 20 not 45) fringe player that has played 7 games this year and makes plenty of mistakes but I love the enthusiasm and effort he brings. Probably good enough to be a permanent key forward or big enough to be a second ruck but always has a dip. A bit like Oleg Markov could be in the AFL system for 5 or 10 years or could be finished at 25 having played 20 or 30 games but loves being out there.
 
Bailey Smith is everything to hate about Gen Z. Entitled, loves himself and craves attention... until it is negative. Look forward to the next time he gets caught doing coke and gets a slap on the wrist and claims mental health.

Shame, because he's a good footballer.

FYI Voss has been in the AFL system his whole adult life, was drafted by Essendon and then delisted. Freo picked him up in the SSP same year he was delisted.

Hugh McCluggage is an underrated, undervalued absolute gun.

Honestly don’t get the hate for Nick Daicos.

Brilliant player, fair player, seems pretty humble and a good bloke from appearances in media.

Is it the publicity he gets? Excellent player at biggest club in the league, son of a club legend?
Not really sure why either. Can only assume he is a 'media darling' by reading match threads, which makes opposition fans salty towards him.

Whilst all true, it's because of his whinging about frees, his brother, fathers and their genuine squibbery.

An entire family of Autumn leaves, I've never seen it before.

I like Nick, think he's on his way to being the greatest Collingwood player of all time. I just don't understand why he's so petrified.
 
There's definitely plenty with major flaws, but I certainly don't hate any players.

Favourite players ever from oppo clubs - David Wirrpunda and Zach Tuohy
